Lincoin’s Platform.
Tn his Inaugural, President Lincoln refers to
the Chicago Platform, saying that those who
nominated and elected him, “placed in the
platform for my acceptance and as a law to
themselves and to me, the clear and emphatic
resolution,” A'C. It is well to refer to this plat
form which is a law to President Lincoln and
the Black Republican party now in control of
the Government of the United States.
Rosolutoins seventh and eighth of that plat
form read as follows :
Seventh. That the new dogma, tint the
Constitution, of its own force, carries slavery
into any or all of the Territories of the United
States, is a dangerous political heresy, at vari
ance with the explicit provisions of that instill- 1
meat itself, with the cotemporaneous exposition
and, with legislative and judicial precedent, is
revolutionary in its tendencies, and subversive
of the peace and harmony of the country.
Eighth. That the normal condition of all 1
the territory of the United States is that of
freedom. That as our republican fathers, when
they had abolised slavery in all our national i
territory, ordained that no person should be
deprived of life, liberty, or property, without :
due process of law, it becomes our duty, by I
legislation, whenever such legislation, is ncccs- ;
sary to maintain this provision of the Copsti
tution against all attempts to violate it. And
we deny the authority of Congress, of a Ter- I
ritorial legislature, or of any individual!-, to ’
give legal existence to slavery in any Teirito ■
ry of the United States. *
Washington, March 16.—1 t is reliably sta- I
ted here that the Southern Congress Comniis |
sioners, Messrs. Forsyth and Crawford, enter
tain the strongest hopes of preserving peaceful
relations between the two Governments l . It is
believed that the diplomatic course of the
Commissioners has been wise ami judicious
throughout their mtercomse with the Adminis
tration here.
